Abstract excerpt
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the infection of Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. T-helper type 17-related genes, vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene, and chemokine/chemokine receptor genes are crucial in microbial infection. A total of 16 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight genes (interleukin [IL]-17A, IL-17F, IL-23R, VDR, C-C motif chemokine ligand [CCL] 2, CCL5, C-C chemokine...
